Within the ASYMPTOTE project, a system with the same name has been developed to prepare, conduct, and evaluate mathematics lessons online. It consists of three components, namely a web portal, a mobile app, and the Digital Classroom feature. In the web portal, teachers can select available learning contents or create their own learning contents. These learning contents can be downloaded by the students to their smartphones by entering a code in the app. Within the Digital Classroom feature, synchronous mathematics lessons can be carried out – it offers a monitoring tool allowing teacher to retrace students’ working processes. In addition, a chat function is integrated for direct teacher-student interaction. In the workshop, the participants get to know the ASYMPTOTE system and explore it from the student’s and teacher’s side. In the workshop, the ASYMPTOTE web portal and app will be briefly introduced.
OUTLOOK: THE WORKSHOPIn the workshop, the participants get to know the system both from a student’s and a teacher’s perspective. Hereby, the participants work on a learning graph via the ASYMPTOTE app. Subsequently, the participants can share their experiences on how to use the app and discuss on desirable further developments. The teacher’s perspective is focused on in the second part of the workshop. It is presented how to create tasks and learning graphs in the web portal, as well as how to use the Digital Classroom feature. The participants create their own tasks in the ASYMPTOTE web portal. The workshop ends with a discussion on the potentials and limitations of ASYMPTOTE.
To participate in the workshop, the ASYMPTOTE app should be downloaded beforehand. Also, a registration in the ASYMPTOTE web portal is needed. All participants should bring their own laptops and have a smartphone/tablet on site. Let’s join the world of ASYMPTOTE!
